Přehled
Konane is an ancient Hawaiian game often called Hawaiian Checkers. Unlike most checkers variants, the board starts completely full, and players capture by jumping. The player who cannot move loses - a last-move-loses structure.
Historie
Konane was played by Hawaiian royalty and commoners for centuries before Western contact. Games could have significant stakes, and the game was banned by missionaries in the 19th century but survived among Hawaiian communities.
